Firstly due to the water quality falling below the standard for drinking, and cooking with, the Town Hall has arranged for a water bowser to be in the following locations for today. This is a one off until a water inspector visits
Zurgena Main Street 0900 x 1000
La Alfoquia by the old petrol station 1000 x 1100.
The facts are that until 2008 the water supplied to the area had to contain a figure of no more than 150 parts per ?? of sulphur. In 2008 that figure was amended down to a level of 100 parts. The recent test has revealed the water to contain 115 parts. So you can see that the water is in fact far better on this yardstick than it was in 2008. It has never been qualified as drinking water. As Maribel in the Town Hall said,"my babies drink their bath water every night. It does them no harm."
Galasa has informed the Town Hall of their findings and their proposed solution.
They state that the sulphur is not naturally occurring in the water but is formed by the interaction between organic material in the water and the chlorine used as a disinfectant.
Their proposed solution is to install new equipment using Chlorine dioxide, which has a much lower ability to produce sulphur as a by product.
This will, according to Galasa, cost 70,000 euros and will take 2 months to install and complete the process. They have purchased the necessary equipment and will be installing it soon.
The Mayor was disappointed that some rather scary stories were circulating and he asked that the public be assured that if there were any real issues likely to affect health they would have have taken other courses of action.
Secondly I have received an in depth response from the British Embassy regarding our housing court cases. They are showing support and have indicated a number of courses of action which following further information from the Town Hall solicitors. I will give a more in depth explanation once I have had time to discuss it with the TH Secretary and solicitors.
As usual any queries just drop me an email or give me a call.
